The problem is not that people who don't have health insurance can't get Adderall. The problem is that there are people who cannot get regular healthcare because they don't have health insurance. If you made adhd medication (adderall isn't the only one) available over the counter tomorrow, there would still be deaths, damage, disablement and addiction caused by drug use unless all those users also had access to decent harm reduction based healthcare.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
